Cell Structure
Match the description with the structure on the right
_____ 1. Present in animal cells but larger in plants;
plants wilt when these storage structures are
empty.
_____ 2. Found in the cytoplasm and in rough ER;
makes proteins.
_____ 3. Dense, round structure that contains DNA and
controls all of cell’s activity.
_____ 4. A bean-shaped structure. Supplies energy for
the cell.
_____ 5. Round & full of enzymes; digests all types of
macromolecules and old cell parts.
_____ 6. Gives support during mitosis in animal cells.
_____ 7. Provides support and protection for plant cells;
made out of cellulose.
_____ 8. Located in the center of the nucleus; produces
ribosomes.
_____ 9. Captures sunlight in photosynthesis and
makes the ‘food’ for plants & algae. Green
structure!
_____ 10. Located in the nucleus; made up of DNA &
protein.
_____ 11. Packages & releases proteins; looks like a
stack of pancakes with drips of syrup.
_____ 12. Phospholipid bilayer; keeps organelles inside
the cell; facilitates movement of nutrients and
waste in and out of the cell.
_____ 13. Cell organelles are suspended in this fluid;
contains macromolecules.
_____ 14. System of membranes surrounding the
nucleus; where proteins are packaged and
distributed.
_____ 15. These break down toxins, also digest amino
acids and fatty acids.
_____ 16. Network of proteins like microfilaments and
microtubules in cytoplasm; provides structure
for both plant and animal cells.
